The COVID-19 Data Forum is a project to bring together those involved with relevant data in a series of multidisciplinary online meetings discussing current resources, needed enhancements, and the potential for co-operative efforts.

The December COVID-19 Data Forum public webinar and discussion will continue to look beyond case count data. The focus will shift to mobility data, which has the potential to answer crucial questions regarding the pathways of pandemic spread and the efficacy of social distancing policies. The event will bring together experts generating and using mobility data to discuss access to the variety of data sources, the differences among them, the potential challenges to privacy, and the utility for modeling and public health decision making.
